Spatial integration of global temperatures

Posted on December 30, 2019 by Clive Best

The spatial integration method used to calculate the global surface temperature has a large impact on the end result. I am using a 3D method based on  spherical triangulation of the weather stations combined with SST results from HadSST3.  This … Continue reading →

CRUTEM4 is cooler than GHCN-V4

Posted on November 27, 2019 by Clive Best

The October 2019 global temperature anomaly that I calculate based on the latest CRUTEM4 station data is 0.15C cooler than that using GHCN-V4 (0.79C as  compared to 0.96C). The temperature series are calculated in exactly the same way and both … Continue reading →

A comparison of HadCRUT4.6 using Icosahedral binning

Posted on November 1, 2019 by Clive Best

The classic HadCRUT processing calculates average surface temperatures on a 5×5 grid in Latitude and Longitude. To calculate the global average a spatial weighting of cos(Lat) must be applied. The main advantage of using a more complex 3D Icosahedral grid … Continue reading →
